Whether you're a makeup artist or just a girl who likes to look her best, winter is a great time to shine. The cooler temperatures and lower humidity levels make your skin less likely to break out, while the shorter days and darker evenings make it easier to find the right lighting for your face. Here are some great products for winter-proofing your makeup routine.

I use it as the last step to finish off my face after applying a mixture of Radical spf 30, Tatcha Water Cream, and DE D-Bronzi, and it just blurs everything and gives me their perfect golden glow.

Not recommended for winter, maybe it would be a better option for oily skin.

What else you need to know:
Annie wanted to create a completely talc-free translucent setting powder that uses the absence of talc to its advantage. Talc's density can make it heavy and drying, which is one of the biggest reasons powders can tend to accentuate fine lines and cling to texture on the skin.
